| Abstract: | This article reports that systematic instruction in college administration and college teaching was first given at Teachers College of the Columbia University of New York City, and at Purdue University. The work of the original course at Teachers College has expanded, and the demand for its development has grown to such an extent that during the academic year three types of courses are provided: general courses, informational in character one section dealing primarily with problems of administration and another emphasizing problems more directly concerned with college instruction; research courses; and seminars. The summer vacation seems to be the most popular time for conducting courses in higher education. Not only are college administrators and college teachers more likely to be able to attend courses then, but there is also better opportunity for enlisting the services of specialists and experienced workers in the field to direct the work of these groups during the summer months. General courses on administrative problems in higher education and on educational problems of the college will be offered at Teachers College. General courses designed for the training of college teachers and administrators are offered at Ohio State University in the Departments of Principles and of School Administration both during the regular year and in the summer quarter. |
